CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL
See Figures 39 - 40.
When cutting warped material, always make sure it is
positioned on the miter table with the convex side
against the fence as shown in figure 39.
If the warped material is positioned the wrong way as
shown in figure 40, it will pinch the blade near the comple-
tion of the cut.
